the States. | met here during my stop
for dinner. an old man said To he no. and
had with him quito a long talk. He was
bent over good deal but walks about
and his eye Is as bright as one often sees.
He said he was from Wales, but was Ia
ken to New York when an infant, short
lv after went to live with an uncle in
Montreal then became a sailor for
number of years, at % went to work for
a wealthy gentleman at Andover, Conn,
who met him and hired him at Boston.
Afterwards in 1902 he married this mans
daughter, a young girl of Is. O, she was
a pretty child, the old man said, the pref
test child in all the country. lie spoke
with an expression of tenderness which
had not lost its vigOr. and with glance
of the eye as youthful as though he was
but 10. Aud, he added. she was too, the
wealthiest girl in all that country. Her
father gave her farm after marriage
that cost $4,000, and in the deed it was
fixed that | should have have the use of
it through life. should she die first. Ten
years after. this young wife died from
the effects of a fall on the piazza, that
ruptured II blood vessel. Four children
had been born to them, all now dead.
After her death he sold his right
in the farm to her brother for ten
thousand dollars and went to Vermont
Here at Newport he married again, but
lived only two years with his second
wife. Afterwards he moved to New
Hampshire where he drove stage for six
years, and where he also married a third
wife with whom he lived - years, and
he said there never was an unkind word
between them. She too, now was dead.
\ child from the second wife, he thought
was still alive. Afterwards he lived in
Vermont, again at Guildhall and at
Bloomington, where he lost all his prop
erty by the defalcation of man who
had been appointed guardian over him
by the town authorities. Then the
old man had lived in Canada good while.
Thus far, he had supported him
self. He boarded now with a French
family at 80 month. His means were
a small pension from the Canadian gov
eminent of $50 year, and very little
money that he still had out at interest.
The line is passed in about six miles
after leaving Sutton Flats village. 1t
was a continuation of the very best farm
